DOMAINfest will be holding a 1-day networking event in New York City on Wednesday, August 18. The day’s agenda will include case studies of successful domain name purchases.

Other topics to be covered include utilizing affiliate marketing, recent views on internet advertising trends, and whether it is a good time to invest in geo domains. I think we know the answer to that one. That of course being a perpetual yes!

A highlight of the day will be a live Moniker auction which will include several upper echelon .com domain names such as Stocks.com and Quotes.com. These are very nice domains.

I predict in the coming year(s) that we will begin to see more well-publicized specialty auctions of categories like real estate domain names and extension specific auctions for tld’s like .info, .biz, and .us. dotUS had a recent auction around July 4th of this year.

Importantly, promoting and marketing an auction well in advance of the event is the single most important factor in getting potential buyers to the table.
